IMPROVEimitarv IN V.Alu-:54B oxrsL '.I'O ALL WHOMl I'l MAY CONCERN: y V

' B n known um .wenminm M. Pente-E mld Lem cov-ILLE, of oxford, in theY county'of ehemalige; and in the Stute ofrNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in AXleBoxes; and we do hereby dechire that the following js a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters oi' reference marked thereon, making a part of thsspecication.'

In the annexe-d drawings, A represents an ordinary'l axle, either of wood or `metelyhaving a suitable screw on its outer end, upon whiclLis the nut a, which secures the axle-box IB. Y

D represents the usual collar, forming' a shoulder,'at the inner end, to secure the box at this point.

The box B has u central depression, as `seen nt x, where the same ts closely around theiaxlex The outer and inner ends of said box are sornewhnt larger VinA circumference than the nxle',`betweeu which-are'placed leather, raw hide, rubber, or other suitable bands, other than metal. These bands are inserted to prevent noise, avoid Friction, and obviate the usual wearing of the box, and thereby becoming loose. y

Having thus fully'describedlour invention, what we ;`..tiu1 as new, and desire to secure by IiettersPatent, is`

Theconihination of the metallic box B and bands C C withtheaxle A, when said box has a Ycentral depression, and is enlarged at cach end for the bunds,as set forth.

In testimony that we 4claim the foregoing, we have hereunto set our hands and seals, this 3Ist dayof August, 1867. l
